[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the utility model, a soft-pack lithium battery heat dissipation structure is proposed, including a battery body 1, the outer edge of the battery body 1 is connected to a shell 2, the shell 2 is wrapped around the battery body 1, and an expansion absorption component 3 is provided facing the battery body 1, and at least two groups of expansion absorption components 3 are provided, and the two expansion absorption components 3 are arranged opposite to each other, and the expansion absorption component 3 is provided with a heat dissipation component 5 facing the battery body 1.

[0025] In a soft-pack lithium battery heat dissipation structure of the present application, the outer wall of the battery body 1 is covered with a protective shell 2. In order to prevent the battery body 1 from being damaged when it expands slightly, the shell 2 is provided with an expansion absorption component 3 facing the battery body 1. The structure of the expansion absorption component 3 can be a mounting block. The mounting block is provided with a water pad facing the battery body 1. The water pad is formed by wrapping the water body with a protective adhesive layer. The battery body 1 is clamped by the water pad. The water pad has good toughness and can absorb the pressure caused by the expansion of the battery body 1 when the battery expands slightly. The expansion absorption component 3 is provided with a heat dissipation component 5 facing the battery body 1. The heat dissipation component 5 is a water circulation system. By arranging a water inlet and a water outlet on the side edge of the mounting block, the water inlet and the water outlet are both connected to the water pad. The battery body 1 can be cooled by the water pad. When the battery expands, the water volume can be adjusted in the background to reduce the pressure between the battery body 1 and the water pad, which is conducive to better protection of the soft-pack lithium battery body 1. The above structure can quickly and stably dissipate heat for the battery.

[0026] Combined with reference Figures 2 to 3 In one embodiment of the present application, the heat dissipation component 5 includes an air inlet channel 51, a heat dissipation fan 52 and an air outlet channel 53. The air inlet channel 51 runs through the end of the expansion absorption component 3 away from the battery body 1; the heat dissipation fan 52 is connected to the air inlet channel 51 and is arranged facing the battery body 1; the air outlet channel 53 is arranged between the expansion absorption component 3 and the battery body 1, and the air outlet channel 53 is arranged at the end of the heat dissipation fan 52 away from the air inlet channel 51.

[0027] In a soft-pack lithium battery heat dissipation structure of the present application, the heat dissipation component 5 includes an air inlet channel 51, a heat dissipation fan 52 and an air outlet channel 53. In the present embodiment, the battery body 1 is cooled through the air path 54. The air inlet channel 51 passes through the end of the expansion absorption component 3 away from the battery body 1. It can pass through the expansion absorption component 3 horizontally from left to right or from top to bottom, and does not affect the function of the air inlet channel 51. The air outlet channel 53 is arranged at the end of the heat dissipation fan 52 away from the air inlet channel 51, and is formed by the gap generated after the expansion absorption component 3 supports the battery body 1. The heat dissipation fan 52 is arranged at the end of the expansion absorption component 3 facing the battery body 1. The heat dissipation fan 52 continuously blows air for the battery body 1 to dissipate heat, so that negative pressure is generated in the air inlet channel 51, and then the air inlet channel 51 draws air to the outside. Through these structures, the flow of wind can be accelerated and the heat dissipation efficiency can be improved.

[0028] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present application, an air path 54 is provided between the air inlet channel 51 and the air outlet channel 53, the heat dissipation fan 52 is connected to the air path 54, and the diameter of the air path 54 is set in a shape that changes from narrow to wide from the air inlet channel 51 to the air outlet channel 53.

[0029] In a soft-pack lithium battery heat dissipation structure of the present application, an air path 54 is provided between the air inlet channel 51 and the air outlet channel 53. The diameter of the air path 54 gradually increases in the direction close to the battery body 1 to form a trumpet-shaped structure. The air path 54 can be divided into two parts: a mounting part and a diffusion part. The mounting part is used to install the fan and is a cylinder. The negative pressure effect can be improved through a small diameter, thereby improving the air suction efficiency of the air inlet channel 51. The diffusion part is connected to the mounting part to increase the wind flow rate and accelerate heat dissipation.

[0030] Combined with reference Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present application, the expansion absorption component 3 is provided with an adjustable airbag 4 facing the battery body 1 , and the adjustable airbag 4 is provided with multiple groups, and the multiple groups of adjustable airbags 4 are evenly spaced and surrounded by the heat dissipation fan 52 .

[0031] In a soft-pack lithium battery heat dissipation structure of the present application, an expansion absorption component 3 is provided with an adjustable airbag 4 facing the battery body 1. In the present embodiment, the expansion absorption component 3 absorbs the expansion pressure of the battery body 1 through the airbag. The adjustable airbags 4 are evenly spaced and surround the heat dissipation fan 52 therein, so that the heat dissipation fan 52 can dissipate heat for the adjusting airbag while dissipating heat for the battery body 1, thereby avoiding damage to the adjusting airbag due to excessive heat absorption. The pressure between the shell 2 and the battery body 1 is adjusted by the adjusting airbag, so as to clamp the battery body 1 and play a buffering role at the same time. Even if the adjusting airbag is damaged, it only needs to be replaced, and there is no need for water overflow to damage the battery body 1 after the water pad is damaged.

[0032] Combined with reference Figures 2 to 3 In one embodiment of the present application, the expansion absorption component 3 is provided with a mounting groove 31 relative to the adjustable airbag 4, the bottom surface of the mounting groove 31 is connected to the air inlet channel 51, and the mounting groove 31 is provided with an open end 32 away from the air inlet channel 51, and the open end 32 is wrapped around the adjustable airbag 4.

[0033] In a soft-pack lithium battery heat dissipation structure of the present application, an expansion absorption component 3 is provided with a mounting groove 31 relative to the adjustable airbag 4, and the bottom of the mounting groove 31 is connected to the air inlet channel 51, so that the air inlet channel 51 can first cool the adjustable airbag 4, and the mounting groove 31 is provided with an open end 32 away from the air inlet channel 51, and the periphery of the adjustable airbag 4 is covered inside by the open end 32, which can prevent the airbag from abutting against the open end 32 and causing damage when it is deformed.

[0034] Combined with reference Figures 2 to 3 In one embodiment of the present application, a heat conducting plate 33 is provided at the bottom end of the mounting groove 31, one end of the heat conducting plate 33 is connected to the adjustable airbag 4, and the other end is connected to the air inlet channel 51, and a heat conducting adhesive layer 34 is filled between the mounting groove 31, the heat conducting plate 33, and the adjustable airbag 4, and the heat conducting adhesive layer 34 is wrapped around the end of the adjustable airbag 4 away from the open end 32.

[0035] In a soft-pack lithium battery heat dissipation structure of the present application, a heat conducting plate 33 is provided at the bottom end of the mounting groove 31, which can accelerate the heat exchange between the adjustable airbag 4 and the air inlet channel 51 to achieve the effect of rapid cooling. The gap between the adjustable airbag 4, the heat conducting plate 33 and the mounting groove 31 is filled with a heat conducting adhesive layer 34, which can enhance the heat exchange and prevent the airbag from being damaged when the airbag is deformed.

[0036] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present application, the shell 2 is provided with mounting springs 6 facing the battery body 1 and the expansion absorbing assembly 3 , and the mounting springs 6 are provided in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of mounting springs 6 are wrapped around the battery body 1 and the expansion absorbing assembly 3 .

[0037] In a soft-pack lithium battery heat dissipation structure of the present application, the shell 2 also includes an installation spring 6, which is the frame structure of the entire shell 2. In this embodiment, the installation spring 6 is arranged at the four corners of the battery body 1. While limiting the battery body 1 and the expansion absorption component 3, it can effectively protect the battery body 1 when the battery body 1 expands slightly to avoid damage. The above structure can effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery body 1.
